Fiocchi INAF/IASF Roma, Via Fosso del Cavaliere 100, Roma, Italy A. J. Bird School of Physics and Astronomy, University of Southampton, Highfield, SO17 1BJ, UK The most recent INTEGRAL/IBIS surveys list many unidentified sources, i.e. those lacking an optical and X ray counterpart. The X ray telescope (XRT, kev) on board Swift, thanks to its few arcseconds source location accuracy, is a powerful tool with which the X ray counterparts to these IBIS sources can be searched for and studied. In fact, the refinement of the source position is of key importance to perform more efficient and reliable follow up observations at other wavelengths (optical, UV, radio). In this work, we present the results of the XRT observations for 6 new gamma ray sources (IGR J , IGR J , IGR J , IGR J , IGRJ , and SWIFT J ), showing how the combination, when possible, of the XRT and IBIS data gives us some hints about the nature of these objects. For all sources, but one (IGR J ), we find a likely soft counterpart, but optical follow up observations are needed to classify these objects. We propose a Galactic nature for IGR J and SWIFT J , while IGR J , IGR J , and IGRJ seem to have properties typical of type 2 AGN. For IGR J , the information available so far prevents us from drawing any secure conclusion about its nature.

Figure 1: Broad band spectrum of IGR J fitted with model A (left panel), and model B (right panel), see text. 1. IGR J XRT reveals only one X ray source (see Table 1) within the IBIS and BAT positional uncertainties (Krivonos et al. 2010; Baumgartner et al. 2010). This source has a counterpart listed in the 2MASS (2 Micron All Sky Survey, Skrutskie et al. 2006), 2MASS J , having magnitudes J 16.4, H 16.5, and K Within the XRT position we also find a ROSAT Faint source 1RXS J and the XMM Slew source XMMSL1 J The broad band spectrum, obtained by combining the average XRT spectrum and the BAT data, is well described both with a model (model A, see Figure 1, left panel) including intrinsic absorption (N H = ( ) 1020 cm 2 ), blackbody emission (kt bb = (Γ = , E C = kev), and a cut off power law kev) and a model (model B, see Figure 1, right panel) consisting of an kev) plus thermal intrinsic absorption (N H = (1.1 ± 0.5) cm 2 ), a blackbody (kt bb = bremsstrahlung component (kt brems = kev). The analysis of each XRT observations indicates strong variability (by a factor of 3) on a time scale of a few days. This source behaviour combined with the results of the broad band spectral analysis leads us to suggest a likely Galactic nature for this objects, perhaps a High Mass X ray Binary (HMXB). 2
3 Figure 2: Broad band spectrum of IGR J fitted with an absorbed power law (left panel), and of IGR J modelled with an absorbed power law plus a second power law passing through Galactic absorption to account for the excess observed below 2 kev (right panel). 2. IGR J This source has been detected by IBIS (Bird et al. 2010), BAT (Baumgartner et al. 2010) and by BeppoSAX during a scan of the Galactic plane. There is only one X ray source (see Table 1) whose position is compatible both with IBIS and BAT error circles. Within the XRT positional uncertainty we find an object belonging to the United States Naval Observatory (USNO B1.0, Monet et al. 2003) catalogue, USNO B , with magnitude R , which is also reported in the 2MASS (2MASS J , J 16.2, H 13.2, and K 11.2) and GLIMPSE (Galactic Legacy Infrared Midplane Survey Extraordinaire, Benjamin et al. 2003), G , with magnitude at 8µ 8.1. The XRT location is also compatible with a XMM Newton serendipitous source (2XMM J ) and with a non thermal radio source (G ) having a 6 cm flux of 0.5 Jy (Caswell & Barnes 1985); this object is slightly resolved and has been proposed to be either a small SNR or a background galaxy. The broad band spectrum, obtained by combing the XRT, MECS, IBIS and BAT data together, is shown in Figure 2 (left panel). The data are well modelled with an absorbed (N H = cm 2 ) power law with a photon index Γ = 1.63 ± No significant variability is found for this object being the cross calibration constants compatible with unity. The observed average 2 10 kev and kev fluxes are and erg cm 2 s 1, respectively. Given the X ray characteristics, we favour the AGN nature for the object, although we cannot exclude that it could be a composite SNR/pulsar wind nebulae. 3. IGR J The X ray position of the only source still visible above 3 kev (see Table 1), within the IBIS and BAT error circles (Bird et al. 2010; Cusumano et al. 2010), is consistent with the radio source CRATES J (NED03) having a 6 cm flux of 126 mjy and with NVSS J having a 20 cm flux of 48.0 ± 1.9 mjy. In the optical band this source coincides with the USNO A2.0 object (USNO A _ ) having R 14.0 and B 14.7, while in infrared is associated with a 2MASS source (2MASS J ) displaying J 16.7, 3
4 Figure 3: XRT spectra of the two sources detected within the IBIS error circle of IGR J : both source #1 (left panel) and source #2 (right panel) data are modelled with an absorbed power law. H 12.7, and K The XRT and IBIS data are well fitted (see Figure 2, right panel) using a double power law model with indices tied together and with a value Γ = ; in addition to the Galactic absorption, data requires an intrinsic column density N H = ( ) 1022 cm 2. The observed 2 10 and kev fluxes are and erg cm 2 s 1, respectively. Based on the multiwaveband characteristics, we propose for IGR J a type 2 AGN classification. 4. IGR J This source has been detected by IBIS (Krivonos et al. 2010) and BAT (Baumgartner et al. 2010). There are two sources detected by XRT and located within the IBIS and BAT positional uncertainties (see Table 1). The XRT position of source #1 is compatible with that of a USNO A2.0 object (USNO A _ ) with magnitudes R 15.7 and B 16.8 and a 2MASS extended source (2MASX J , with magnitudes J 15.0, H 14.2, and K 13.1), classified as a galaxy in NED. Source #2 again coincides with a 2MASS extended source (2MASX J , with magnitudes J 13.3, H 12.4, and K 12.2) also classified as a galaxy in NED, and associated with a USNO A2.0 object (USNO A _ ) with magnitudes R 11.9 and B This source is also reported as a radio emitter in the Sydney University Molonglo Sky Survey (SUMSS, Mauch et al. 2003) catalogue with a flux of 9.2 ± 0.9 mjy at 36 cm. Both objects are well fitted with an absorbed power law (see Figure 3): N H = ( ) 1023 cm 2 and Γ = for source #1, and N H =( ) 1023 cm 2 and Γ = for source #2. Also the observed 2 10 kev fluxes of the two source are comparable: 2.9 and erg cm 2 s 1 for source #1 and #2, respectively. Interestingly, the extrapolation of the kev flux from the XRT data set reproduces the total IBIS observed flux ( erg cm 2 s 1 ), suggesting that both objects might contribute to the high energy emission. Preliminary result from optical follow up observations (Masetti & Parisi, private communication) indicate source #2 as a type 2 AGN. The similarity of the spectra of the two sources leads us to favour a likely type 2 AGN nature also for source #1. 4

The white circle represents the 90% IBIS error circle, while the white cross shows the positions of the XRT detection (left panel); broad band spectrum modelled with an absorbed power law (right panel). 5. IGR J There is only one X ray source detected by XRT and located within the IBIS positional uncertainty (see Table 1). The XRT position of source #1 is compatible with that of two USNO A2.0 objects: USNO A _ (with magnitudes R 17.5 and B 19.1) and USNO A _ (with magnitudes R 17.2 and B 19.1). The X ray source also coincides with a XMM Newton Slew object (XMMSL1 J ) and has a radio counterpart (see Figure 4, left panel) belonging to the NVSS catalogue (NVSS J ) with a 20 cm flux of ± 4.8 mjy. The broad band spectrum (average XRT spectrum combined to the IBIS one during outburst) is well described (see Figure 4, right panel) by an absorbed (N H = ( ) 1022 cm 2 ) having a photon index Γ = and observed 2 10 and kev fluxes of and erg cm 2 s 1, respectively. Despite being classified as a variable object in the fourth catalogue (Bird et a. 2010), the cross calibration constant turned out to be compatible with unity. The spectral properties, as well as the radio double lobe morphology, suggest an AGN nature also for IGR J , likely of type SWIFT J This source, reported as a JEM X object by Westergaard et al. (2006), is listed in the IBIS survey (Krivonos et al. 2010) and in the Swift/BAT 22 month catalogue (Tueller et al. 2010), in which is reported as a transient object. Also in this case inside the IBIS and JEM X error circles, XRT detects only one X ray object (see Table 1). Within the XRT positional uncertainty we find a 2MASS source (2MASS ) detected with magnitudes J 16.2, H 13.5, and K No optical counterpart has been found for SWIFT J A good fit to the average X ray spectrum is provided by an absorbed (N H = (3.2±0.4) cm 2 ) power law (Γ = ) plus an iron line at E Line = 6.7 ± 0.1 kev with an EW = ev. Comparison between XRT observations indicates variability in the source flux by a factor of 1.5 over a period around one. 5
6 Figure 5: XRT spectrum of SWIFT J fitted with an absorbed power law plus an iron line (left panel); countours plot showing the line energy versus the line width (right panel). Based on these spectral properties we favour a Galactic nature for SWIFT J : it is probably an X ray binary, either a cataclysmic variables or a HMXB. 7. Conclusions In this work, we show how follow up observations in X rays are of key importance to search for counterparts of high energy emitters. The cross correlation between the IBIS surveys and the Swift/XRT data archive allowed us to pinpoint unambiguously the soft X ray counterpart of six IBIS sources. Two objects (IGR J and SWIFT J ) seem to have a Galactic nature, three objects (IGR J , IGR J and IGRJ ) exhibit properties typical of AGN. The remaining source, IGR J , needs to be further studied in order to assess its nature; at this stage, although we favour an AGN nature, a composite SNR/pulsar wind nebulae cannot be excluded.
